52. And, O my people! Ask forgiveness of your
Lord, then turn unto Him repentant, He will cause the sky to rain abundance
on you and will add unto you strength to your strength and turn not away,
guilty!

Mid-raaran – (rain in abundance), it is a tense of
exaggerating, which has come out from the word dar-run. Dar-run means
“to flow, to rain”. A word mudiraat is also from the same origin, which
means “liquids, fluids, stimulants”. Mid-raaran means “That Who rains
abundance”.

Territory of the tribe of Aad was dry and withered but the land
was very fertile. If it rained abundant, then every crop was produced more than
enough. But if it did not rain, then there was no any proper source of water
for irrigation. Prophet Hud (peace be upon him) causes to remember to His
folk: There is a way of escaping from this calamity of famine, which makes a
circuit continuously over your heads. I tell you the same if you are desirous
to be saved.

In this verse, that method of dwelling comfortably in this world has
been explained by Hud (peace be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said:
You should ask forgiveness of God Almighty every time regarding your errors and
omissions, incline unto Him in every difficulty. He will cause to rain
abundance for you when it would be necessary and by which your gardens and
crops will remain flourishing, and those will produce plentiful for you, from
which your apparent material strength will increase, as well as having belief
in Allah Almighty and drawing your attention unto Him in all matters, your
spiritual strength will also be enhanced, and collectively your strength will
be manifold. If you will turn away from Allah Almighty and pay your attention
toward other things, then you will be weak from both sides.
